New Porsches!!

Why didn't anybody tell me about this? They've released pictures of their new body style for 2005, I think the headlights look MUCH better, and they're more powerful now with a 3.8 liter engine.

The shift knob looks exactly like the one in my mom's VW Beetle, and I mean EXACTLY like it.

The headlights do look ALOT better, I knew they would head back to the simple round light eventually.

I like Porsche's & dont want to start a flamefest, but I was disappointed when I drove my brothers 95 911, perhaps they have improved them since then ?, it wasnt anything as nice as the ride in either of the 3-series BMW's I have owned.

Wow, looks great.
flash, I agree with you. My friend has a 2003 Boxster auto and I have been in it on 2 or 3 different occasions...the quality of the interior isn't up to BMW standards. The car certainly drives great (Porsche: there is no substitute) but considering what Porsche charges for their cars, I was expecting a higher level of luxury and interior materials.

My brothers 911, I am not knocking it, its absolutely stunning, but you have to like a clutch that comes upwards out of the floor board, its definately different - he cant use a clutch stop, and the clutch throw is much longer than most, if you ever drove a VW with a floor mounted clutch pedal, you know what I mean.

But again, the car is stunning - just be sure you drive one if ever getting serious about one. I am ceratain several guys dont mind the Porsche clutch feel, but its paramount to check it out 1st.

One of their goals for the redesigned models is to fix up the interiors, we'll see how that goes.

Honestly, I like the current ones. These new ones just don't look very good to me. The interior definatly looks better, and more power is always good, but exterior looks arent very exciting.

They look pretty much like the old ones except with better looking headlights. The track is increased (hard to believe) and now they offer 19" wheels, finally caught up with the M3.

I agree. It's kinda vanilla looking.
